What are you listening to right now?

Romulus by Amir Baghiri. Chilled out space ambient, helps to prevent wanting to stab the computer when editing videos. -
This happens regularly to me. Not necessarily always with band members (though our drummer had, until very recently, a tendency to commit, lose his phone then not show up) but it does bug me. If you're asked a simple question via text that doesn't take too long to answer you seriously cannot be so busy it takes you 10 hours to see it and reply. I get that excuse all the time while all throughout the day the person in question has been getting high scores on Bubble Witch Saga.

Protestant whisky of course! Well... depends on the smoky peatiness. Thanks for the welcome, I'll be sure to post a video up soon! It's nice to have a community like this methinks.

Hi! My name is Ben, I'm 23 and I'm a bass player (sounds like an anonymous meeting...). I've been playing since I was 11 ever since my father took me to see Gary Moore play (ironic I know, but so much groove!). I own two primary basses, a Warwick 4 string Corvette (Bubinga) and a Yamaha RBX JM2, the John Myung Signature 6 string. The 6 string is almost exclusively used on the rare occasion I find myself teaching an extended range student but most commonly in my band 'Bloodwork', a London based extreme metal band. The 4 is used for pretty much everything else. I'm a huge fan of funk, slap especially. Bloodwork gives me my brutality fix so the chunkier the groove the better in anything else! I'm currently selling my amp, an H&K Quantum head in favour of something a little smaller and more manageable. I love all things bass and consider myself something of a tone geek, I'm on that unending quest to find the perfect clean tone that can shift straight into the perfect distorted tone!

Hi all, Ben here. [color=#333333]I'm selling two pieces of gear, my Hughes and Kettner Quantum QT 600 head and Hughes and Kettner 1x15 (300w). Both have been well looked after and while there are a couple of minor knocks and scrapes they are in perfect working condition and sound beautiful! A lovely warm, vintage sound from the dynavalve poweramp and TubeTouch preamp means you can get a punchy growl from the tube too. [/color] [color=#333333]I've used it for everything from death metal to funk and pop so I've found it to be a pretty versatile (and loud!) piece of kit. I wanted to advertise it here before I look to put it on preloved and/or ebay. [/color] [color=#333333]There's a head currently going for about £1200 on ebay, I'm looking for £500 ONO for the head and £250 ONO for the cab. Here's the spec from H&K for the Head. I'll add photos soon. [url="http://www.hughes-and-kettner.com/products.php5?id=47"]http://www.hughes-an...ucts.php5?id=47[/url][/color] Thanks all, hope to spend time on here now I'm registered! Ben
